Description:
A 27-kilodalton tryptic fragment, derived from the amino terminus of the 200-kilodalton fibronectin subunit, inhibited binding of intact fibronectin to Staphylococcus aureus and could be cross-linked to Staphylococcus aureus by blood coagulation Factor XIIIa. Interactions of fibronectin with Staphylococcus aureus via this fragment may be important for bacterial opsonization and attachment.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Mosher, D F -- Proctor, R A -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1980 Aug 22;209(4459):927-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7403857" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
